Lymphatic Therapy Treatments
Lymphatic Therapy Treatments Treatment focuses on minimizing the swelling and controlling the pain. Lymphatic therapy treatments can consists of exercise, manual lymph drainage massage incorporating the use of the Lymphstar Pro, and compression garments. Light exercises that require movement of the affected arm or leg can help move the lymph fluid out of the limb. These lymphatic therapy exercises should focus on gentle contraction of the muscles in the arm or leg. Exercises help pump the lymph fluid out of the affected limb. A physical therapist can teach you exercises that may help. The Lymphstar Pro is a gentle, non-invasive and completely safe means of moving and draining lymph and can be incorporated in any lymphatic therapy treatment plan. A mixture of xenon, argon, and krypton gases are enclosed in a glass tube. The gases are electrically excited which then cause an energy field, or plasma, to emit from the glass tube onto the skin. All of these emissions are extremely low in energy so they are gentle and safe. Subtle energies like these may be called "vibrational energy," as they are at a level more perceptible to the energy system, or bio-field, than more aggressive modalities used to treat the body. However, by their very nature, the lymphatic vessels tune into and respond beautifully to this kind of energy! Krypton, like the other noble gases, can be used in lighting and photography. Krypton light has a large number of spectral lines, and krypton's high light output in plasmas allows it to play an important role in many high-powered gas lasers, which pick out one of the many spectral lines to amplify. There is also a specific krypton fluoride laser. Argon is the most abundant and most frequently used of the noble gases. Argon's full outer shell makes it stable and resistant to bonding with other elements. Each element is non-toxic in the amount used in each bulb.
Practitioners offering therapy with the Lymphstar Pro include naturopaths, bodyworkers, chiropractors, physical therapists, colon hydro-therapists, spas and estheticians, veterinarians, dentists, and lymphatic therapists. Many physicians are now recommending patients for Lymphatic De-Congestive Therapy. If recommended by a physician for edema or post-mastectomy lymphedema, the treatments may be billed for insurance coverage. The Lymphstar Pro is also available to home users. Many health-conscious individuals and those with chronic problems enjoy giving themselves lymphatic therapy in the comfort and convenience of their own home. Massage. A special massage technique called manual lymph drainage may encourage the flow of lymph fluid out of the arm or leg. Manual lymph drainage involves specific hand strokes on the limb to gently move lymph fluid to healthy lymph nodes, where it can drain. Avoid massage if there is a skin infection, blood clots, active cancer or congestive heart failure. Compression garments include specially designed garments made to compress your arm or leg to encourage the flow of the lymph fluid out of the affected limb. Once the swelling is reduced in the arm or leg through the use of the Lymphstar Pro and lymphatic therapy massage, you may need to wear compression garments to prevent the limb from swelling between treatments. In cases of severe lymphedema, your doctor may consider surgery to remove excess tissue in the arm or leg. This may reduces severe swelling, but surgery can't cure lymphedema.
